What takes place when you mix the globes of vampires and superheroes with the genuine company of running a 24-hour restaurant? You obtain the new digital-first comic publication series The All-Nighter from writer Chip Zdarsky and also musician Jason Loo. The series, which debuted Tuesday on Amazon.com platforms consisting of comiXology, is a follow-up to their previous collection Afterlift, which won a Will Eisner Comic Industry Award for Ideal Digital Comic.

In The All-NIghter, a clan of vampires has actually found an area for themselves in culture as the owners and also workers as a diner open 24/7. But among the vampires, Alex, wants much more: so he ends up being a superhero, which makes points a lot more made complex for him, his fellow vampires, as well as the humans who are concurrently their consumers, their food, as well as, you know, people.

WIth The All-Nighter 1 2 readily available now, Zdarsky as well as Loo have actually shared the principle art for the main characters as well as a bit much more about the story.

After we won the Eisner for Afterlift, Jason and also I came to be outright beasts. That made us understand that our following project ought to have to do with absolute beasts, Zdarsky tells Newsarama, tongue-in-cheek. I have actually constantly wished to do a proper vampire tale, however I likewise desired to use Jason and also my experience composing as well as attracting superhero tales, so The All-Nighter was born!

Loo is the one that created the restaurant as a key setup for the task, along with the concept for vampires - it was Zdarsky that assumed that the vampires would be the restaurant, while also including the superhero aspect.

I actually needed to dig deep right into each beast s individuality and determine just how creative/inventive they would certainly be with their superhero identities and costumes, Loo claims. Geeky vampires like Alex and also Happiness would certainly look like cosplayers at a comic convention.

Loo made certain to maintain an air of realism in the layouts, believing regarding what the beasts would be able to produce as well as make themselves - something mainstream superhero design might not necessarily consider.

Various other monsters outfits are quickly done. Not everyone can be a great dressmaker when you have massive unshaven hands, states Loo. Yet even if these monsters come off looking dorky in their tights, they re still extremely frightening beneath their mask.

Zdarsky, a musician in his own right, has large praise for Loo s operate in The All-Nighter.

Jason revealed with Afterlift that he can draw anything. It s his superpower! So having a tale with numerous enjoyable aspects really felt like a need, claims Zdarsky. Our actors of personalities all feel so completely distinct many thanks to Jason s fantastic styles. He truly imbues everyone with distinctive personalities. And his superhero designs are so much fun! Whatever really feels outlandish and grounded at the exact same time.

Zdarsky and Loo are participated this by their Afterlift partners, colorist Paris Alleyne, letterer Aditya Bidikar, and also editor Allison O Toole.

The All-Nighter 1 and also 2 is available now on comiXology, and is cost-free for participants of comiXology Unlimited, Amazon Prime, and Kindle Unlimited.
